State Fair of Virginia

I am cheating a little bit today! I have been really busy with many projects, that I haven't had much time to blog. I am involved in a Christmas Giveaway and am working my fingers to the bone to get some sewing done for it. I am excited about it, but not quit ready to share what I am making. I will post about it when the time is right!

So I decided I want to
share my experience at the State Fair of Virginia. It is pertinent to this blog, not only because it is about me and this blog is about me, but also because I got to meet a blogging friend.

Ann and I have been blog friends for over a year. She and I have created a nice friendship. When we moved to VA, I found out she was only a couple of hours away from us. We decided to use the State Fair as a meeting point!

So here you go - The State Fair of Virginia!

We were able to get to the fair before the
crowds got there!

I had such a good time! I am not a ride
person, they make me ill. I do enjoy watching others while they
partake!

One of my favorite things about the fair is the animals!

Love these little
pigs!

This little guy was very curious
and got right up to the camera

The goats are so
cute!

At one time we owned 8
chickens. I miss them so much!

Of course, one of the best things about a fair
is the food. I ate a gyro sandwich and for desert, I had fried Reese Peanut
Butter Cups and Fried Oreo Cookies! Actually, I brought the Fried Oreo Cookies
home. They are very rich and you can't eat to much of this type of
food!

Fried
Oreos!

Fried Reese Peanut Butter
Cups!

I have been blogging for a few years on another
site, and it is there, that I met my friend Ann. She and I were finally able to
meet up and speak with each other face to face! I loved that. Sorry about the
photo - I am still figuring my camera out!

My friend Ann and
I!

We spent the day
looking at quilts and other handcrafts, eating food that would normally not be a
part of our diet, and enjoying the animals. It was a good day! Hope you had a
wonderful day also! Thanks for stopping by.
